In today's episode, we'll be talking about some of the district’s Early Childhood Education programs including Early On and GSRP. Early childhood education programs can have a transformative effect on children, their learning, and growth. Our conversation today with some of our pre-K educators will highlight the crucial role our programs play in unlocking the full potential of our youngest learners. Today we have our special guests, Early On teachers Tiffany Maier & Samantha Glaab and GSRP teachers, Jennifer Danosky and Angela Kosztowny.

Today, we're spotlighting Kindergarten Enrollment and Orientation with our elementary school principals, Michelle Briegel, Principal at Wegienka Elementary School and Tim Podlewski, Principal at Yake Elementary School. Kindergarten enrollment for in-district students begins on March 11. If you're unsure if you are in-district, you can call the board of education office at 734-783-3300 to verify your address. This will help you determine which school you will attend for orientation. Children must be 5 on or before September 1 to enroll in kindergarten or Young 5s for the 2024-25 school year. It is actually very simple to register your child for kindergarten, as the WBSD has streamlined our process to make it more convenient for families. It is a two step process: First, pre-enrollment begins online and then it will prompt you to make an appointment to complete enrollment at the Board of Education office. Everything you need to bring to the appointment is listed on the website. Appointments last about 20 minutes and new Kindergarten enrollees receive a t-shirt, informational folder and goodie bag.

Parent-teacher conferences are an essential opportunity for parents to connect with their child's teachers, understand their academic progress, and collaborate to support their educational growth. Here today is Cherie Godfrey, Bates Elementary School Principal to talk more about having a successful conference. WBSD Elementary Parent/Teacher Conferences are on Thursday, March 14 at all five elementary schools. Conference times are 1 to 4 p.m. and again from 5 to 8 p.m.
